COURAGE IN CALM

Self defense starts in the mind and is protected by our physical wellbeing. Our organization works to provide a sense of confidence and strength to the children in our society. From social stressors such as bullying to physical obstacles such as malnourishment, many of the kids today require the mental and physical strength to develop a sense of confidence as they lead our world for the future.

Our Mission

Courage in Calm was founded in August of 2021. The basic goal was to teach young children about physical and mental health. We want to educate young children about these topics so that if they ever encounter a situation that threatens their physical or mental well-being, they know exactly how to protect themselves.
